One of those weeks we all have, when you wonder why you are doing this...Had a steer a day away from butchering when 3 of the four customers backed out, saying they are too broke. Found out most of my herd are possible carriers for the new AAA genetic (so-called) "defect" (see other thread)... And the guy who does our hay just now cut it. First cutting. On friggin July 20. Not even all in the barn yet. And did I mention he gets 65% of it in return for his efforts?
:bang: :bang: :bang:
My sole consolation is the ability to tell spouse that next time, as I wanted to do, we get deposits ahead of time from all buyers, even if (or maybe even, as here, ESPECIALLY IF, they are co-workers of spouse). Do they think you can butcher a quarter of an animal? :roll:
I tip my hat to those of you who actually make a living at this nonsense! :tiphat:
